Our vision imagines a region and a world in which everyone has access to an inspiring education and is provided the psychological tools and support needed to propel them toward flourishing lives of meaning, purpose and connection.
We see ourselves as a strong community partner that serves this vision in our region.
To embody that vision, our mission is to prepare outstanding therapists, educators, and advocates, grounded in the Jesuit values of a deep respect for all and a focus on social justice. Our mission is to develop professionals who will serve and positively transform schools, communities, and the greater society through their work.

Our goal is to help shape the next generation of leaders and global thinkers. We pursue new technology, encourage creativity, engage with our communities, and share an entrepreneurial mindset.
Students learn from and work alongside faculty that bring diverse experiences, accolades, and perspectives from all over the world to the classroom. All of our faculty share a commitment to driving industry innovation and social justice reform through research and advocacy.
In all of our course and community work, we are driven by a vision of a world guided by principles of social justice – a concern for all members of our society, and especially the most vulnerable. Students have the opportunity to grow into their roles as advocates through our Center for Professional Development and initiatives led by our Latinx Research Center.
We offer over $2 million in scholarships for currently enrolled and newly admitted students, including specialized programs such as our SEMILLA Teaching Fellowship and ExCEL.
